Something different to beluga.
Dim sims are way way better.
Sushi is excellent.
Service delivery was ok.
Ambience is good.
Will definitely be back again.
Lovely, varied menu focused on fresh Asian flavours. A lot of the food was on the expensive side, but the bang bang noodles I got were delicious and generously-portioned. They had a very unique take on Pad Thai, which I did not enjoy as much as the bang bang noodles. The wraps were a bit on the smaller side, but also very tasty, particularly the falafel one. They had a 50% special on cocktails so we tried their mojitos, which I though were average and not very cold. Service was okay, and I think ambience would be better during the evening. Keen to come back to try their sushi and tapas.
Delicious food and drinks and a fantastic ambience. Owner is great and friendly. They have great non alcoholic cocktails as I was pregnant when I visited. The reviews of this restaurant were nothing short off the truth. Definitely going back.
The food at this place is off the charts. Amazing flavour, alot of ingredients but work so well together. I always order the Malaysian bang bang noodles and it can actually serve 3 people so I usually take it away and have it later because it's so filling. Very pricey but good quality and quantity of food. Half price cocktails everyday, you would think that they cut down on the alcohol because it's half price to cut costs like most restaurant do and you can taste the difference, here they serve you good quality cocktails and so worth it.
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed my dinner last night here. I’ve been wanting to try this place out forever! The ambiance is amazing, especially outside with their lighting. I had the standard Tapas Tasting Menu. This gave me an opportunity to try out a variety of their dishes. They were soooo good OMG these guys know their stuff. EVERYTHING tasted so good. The waiter was also excellent. On my list as 1 of the best spots in Umhlanga!
Great place and good food. the view is amazing and you can host birthday celebrations, baby shower, bridal shower and many more. The staff is so welcoming.
Business lunch to impress! We had a few starters for sharing at the table (highly recommend the eisbein) and then sushi platters. So much care and thought has gone into the sushi menu - seriously cannot recommend the sushi enough!
Most probably one of my favorite restaurants. Loved everything about this gem of a place. The food was an experience in its self. The tasting menu is definitely a must. Highly recommend the pork belly 🙂
Excellent food and cocktails. We ordered a bit of everything to try and weren’t disappointed at all. Unfortunately the bathrooms let the whole experience down :( no toilet paper, no soap in the dispenser and the toilet looked quite grubby. However the food was outstanding and I would go back for sure!
Popped in here for lunch, tried the 5-spice duck wok dish with noodles, the description was hot and spicy however it lacked heat and flavour. My bf tried the crispy pork belly woke dish with noodles, he was also disappointed with the dish. Plus side, the portions are huge can easily share one meal and half price cocktails are always a winner.
2nd Review: We've been regulars here, and I must say the great thing about Greedy Buddha is the consistency. The food is always delicious and the service is excellent. The new menu, including the sushi platters are well worth the now pricier visit.
1st Review: Guaranteed excellent meal, excellent service, fantastic location! Their tasting menus are well thought. The overall quality is exceptional!
The food at Greedy Buddha is top class, full of flavour & very generous. I love the mix of the Asian cuisine & modern techniques. It's best to try a whole range of their dishes, one at a time, and make an evening of it. But a quick lunch bite is also a tasty option!
First time visiting here and the food tastes great. Prices are well worth it with large portions being offered. Desert options are unusual and different from the normal brownie and ice cream combo others offer. There is a sushi option menu as well and tasting menu for 2 which is affordable. Dim sums and noodles taste authentic.
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite restaurants to visit in Durban, Umhlanga. Food was excellent, the service was great and the ambience fantastic. Must try is the crispy pork belly and prawn... Best I've ever tasted.
Greedy for more! It was lovely to sit outside on a warm evening under the fairy lights. The service was excellent, the waitress recommended dishes that were delicious. Shared the 7 Spice prawns and the Chilli Chicken won ton for starters 👌🏽 the Won Tons were piping hot so I do suggest giving it a second before popping it into your mouth! 🙈 had the Pad Thai for main, they split the portion for us into seperate bowls. Much appreciated :) excellent flavor with a kick. thanks Greedy Buddha!
The food is amazing! I had enjoyed my meal very much and have full intentions of eating there many more times. The drinks and cocktails are also delicious and perfect to have with a tasty meal. The dishes are presented beautifully as well and the restaurant was a delight to dine in. The vibe was chilled and fun with great music.
Great place. Really ejoyed the food. A lot of variety in the menu. Will definitely go back. The portions were quite substantial so even had it for lunch the next day. Cocktails were ok but not consistent. Went on a Sunday evening and it was quiet.
My friends and I had such an amazing time. The vibe, the food and the service was excellent! I highly recommend it.
Great for cocktails...cocktail specials everyday! Friendly staff. Delicious Asian food that would make you come back for more!
